What’s new?

We’ve deployed a number of new Alibaba-based monitoring locations since the beginning of 2019, with special emphasis on locations in Asia.

Just last week, Microsoft announced a new Azure location in South Africa. We’ve already made this location available for your monitoring needs. So, please welcome the following new synthetic monitoring locations to the Dynatrace family:

Hohhot, China

Zhangjiakou, China

Singapore

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Silicon Valley, California, USA

Johannesburg, South Africa

What’s next?

As promised, we’re aggressively pushing for even more synthetic monitoring locations worldwide:

The rest of the Alibaba regions are in the pipeline.

We’ll provide support for an Azure location in Cape Town, South Africa once Microsoft makes it available for direct use.

Private browser monitors are heading your way and will be available soon.

These announcements (and many others) are just a few reasons why following this blog will remain interesting for y’all! So stay tuned.
